He was the United States winner of the BMI Student Composer Awards at the age of thirteen. In addition to his compositions for the piano, he is also a symphonic composer and composer for the organ. His first opera, the Global Opera, features five acts, each sung in a different language.

Artist's Statement:
I am Richard Dancu Trifan, the son of the most wonderful parents that ever lived. They imbued me with far-reaching musical insight.
I dedicate my music towards bridging cultural divides. The responsibility of the few is to entrance, motivate and enlighten the many with works of emotion and skill, inspiring the many towards an equally-rewarding self-expression. I do this from a global perspective and without bias; I would ask for immortality if only to continue this mission.
